10/13/26 - Omar home raided, Musk spends $366 million on GOP, Mayor Pete Campaigns for Indiana Dems

So, obviously, the race that everybody's talking about now, the race that has everybody's interest is Secretary of State.

And...

We're getting to a point now, I was told, where there's going to be a poll coming out later this week.

And independent polling.

Not one of the campaigns, but...

Rather, an independent group, media group, putting it together.

I think it's going to be announced on Friday.

And so you'll get an idea for the first time from an independent group where this race might be at.

And of course, we've only seen two.

while technically not internal polls, the Hoosier Leadership for America group, which is 100% behind Max Engling, put one out.

And then you had Bo Bai's internal polls.

They both showed different things, but the race is probably pretty close.

And ultimately, it may end up coming down to not how well Bai or Engling do, but the difference that Greg Ballard makes.

Greg Ballard may ultimately be the person who decides the outcome of this race.

And by that, I mean, how many pissed off Republicans can he pull? If he ends up with five or six percent, as the first couple of polls that came out showed, it may get tougher for Bobai to get across the finish line because Indiana is such a Republican state.

But if Ballard ends up at 8, 9, 10, you've got a real ballgame.

And Greg Ballard's approach to campaigning has been very interesting in the sense that he's actually campaigning on issues related to the office.

Now, I'm not saying that's bad on its face.

Of course it's good.

You want this position.

Here's how I would handle this position.

Here's what I would do in this position.

That's what we should strive for from our candidates.

You've actually in terms of legitimate policies and positions.

gotten far more from Greg Ballard than you have the other two candidates.
